It is 1999. Arnis Rozenvalds is a Latvian–born doctor living in London with his elderly mother. He has never known his father who he believes was deported to Siberia in 1941. A chance meeting with a friend's cousin who shows him a sepia–tinted photograph from the 1930s fuels his longing to solve the mystery which has always haunted him. What did happen to his father?
Latvia has been independent from Soviet occupation for almost a decade and the KGB files are gradually being opened. Together, Arnis and his mother return to Latvia...
The clue to his father's identity lies in an exquisitely carved wooden puppet – the only possession to have survived the journey Arnis and his mother were forced to make when they fled Latvia from the Russians in 1945.
Vividly conveying the profound changes taking place in one of the newest and least known members of the European Union, Puppet Maker is a novel about exile, roots, home and identity – in a country whose past is more uncertain than the present.
